Who doesn't love a fresh mani, brand new full set, clean cuticles and pretty hands?!

That's right, EVERYONE! 

I had a horrible experience last night at my salon. My nails just did not want to cooperate and the gel became bubbly and  my color selection was totally awful! So what did I do? I'll tell you what I did! 

I went to CVS and purchased the Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips and in 15 minutes I had a set of nails that looked better than they did when I left the salon!! I purchased mine in Lust-rous which is a black polish with specks of gold and silver! Super appropriate for this cooler weather and they match everything I wear. 

Like I said, it took me 15 minutes to apply these strips. I did it on my lunch break at work in my car. When I returned to the office all the girls asked if I went to the nail place during lunch. NOPE, I sure didn't! 

Check them out! They have amazing solid colors and some pretty cool design ones too!! 

Makeup of the day!

No filter, highlight and contour at its best!!! Let me know if you want details how to get the look! 

Xoxo you fabulous ones!

Current Favorites!!

I'm make-up obsessed right now!! Correction, I'm always OBSESSED, however, I have found some amazing DRUGSTORE products that have become my essentials.

My first fabulous find is the Jordana 12 HR Made to Last Eyeshadow Pencil in all of the colors but especially the color Continuous Almond! This stuff lasts ALL day, is matte, waterproof and SUPER blend able. It is also very versatile in its use. I decided to use it as a highlighter one day and the rest was history! I literally use this eye shadow pencil everywhere i want to highlight and it is amazing! Oh and ladies; it's $3.99!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELLOOOOOOOOOO xox

I just purchased the e.l.f. Studio Mineral Powder Brush for applying bronzer and contouring... AMAZING! This brush is from their studio line and is $3.00! WHAT A FREAKING DEAL!

Also from e.l.f is their Studio High Definition Undereye Setting Powder. I will never go without this! (for now at least!) it doesnt get cakey, and has the most perfect finish to it. It comes with a little brush for application but is much too small. I use the e.l.f. small stipple brush for application and its amazing!

Since the weather is getting slightly more gloomy I decided to go for a dramatic dark nail and fell in love with OPI Classics Collection Nail Lacquer Lincoln Park After Dark!!

What are you favorites this month? I love trying new products. Have you used the products above? What did you think of them?

I hope everyone is having a fabulous week! Much LOVE xoxoxo

So this isnt REALLY a throwback but I just wanted to reflect on all of my accomplishments through the years. 

From my earliest memory I was obsessed with clothes and my moms high heels and makeup! I would swing my arms through her lacy bras and play "grown-up" I will always remember her laughing at me and shaking her head. Despite my super girlyness I was also the biggest tomboy! I would wear camo prints and play with fake machine with all the boys in the neighborhood. I thought I was so cool!

It humors me coming to the realization that I am still the exact same way! I love doing my hair, applying makeup, going shopping and yet I am still that little tomboy who will kick the heels off my feet and go jump in the mud LOL. I guess not too much has changed in that aspect. 

I've also felt this need to be the boss. I dont like to follow other peoples rules and I most certainly am not a "follower" in any regards to my life. I feel comfortable in a leadership role and enjoy the responsibilities that come with it. I am happy at my current job, however building ClassyCosmo is a dream come true for me. It represents everything that I love and who I am and I am my own Boss. 

Thank you to everyone who has supported me to this point and I am tremendously excited for the future of this business and I cannot wait to share all of the joys with YOU! 

XOXO My Loves!!

TGIF

Good Morning, and TGIF!!!! 

Boy has this morning been RUFF! I slept through my alarm, wasn't able to do my hair, and threw on the most comfortable pair of camouflage pants I own! Corporate America appropriate? I think not, but whatev's! All I can say is TGIF TGIF TGIF!

I have been so busy working on the ClassyCosmo website and getting everything together for the launch that will be happening VERY soon! I swear the only thing I could really use right now is a bottle on Cabernet and a Jacuzzi style bath tub overflowing with bubbles! :)  

I am preparing myself to dedicate my life to my brand and company and although I am thoroughly exhausted I know that going after my dreams is of the utmost importance. I am feeling scared, nervous, overwhelmed and anxious and I am somehow managing to turn all these emotions into the fuel that is of success!

Make Sure you Follow ClassyCosmo on Instagram and Facebook for updates on the LAUNCH!!

XOXO my fabulous ones!

Hard at work!

Im so excited for the release of my new company ClassyCosmo!!! 

I hope you all go and check it out on Facebook! 

As you know I'm totally jazzed about sweaters and boots and so grateful to be rocking it today!!! 

I hope you all have an amazing day!!!
